What does chilli pack on a MINI mean?
Chili Pack
The Chilli Pack was an upgrade to the Pepper Pack and included the same features plus: • 3-spoke leather steering wheel - multi-function including cruise control. • LED headlights/foglights. • MINI Driving Modes.
Some owners may have ordered some of the options included in the Chili Pack individually, so to save having to check for each feature individually, a Mini dealer should be able to tell you if a specific car has the pack if you give them the registration.
With the MINI Chili Pack, you get everything that's included in the Pepper Pack, plus some further features, including multi-functional steering wheel controls, LED headlights and foglights, MINI Driving Modes and leather sport seats.
The MINI Comfort Pack is designed to make your everyday driving experience easier with indulgent extras both inside and out. The Comfort Pack includes Automatic air conditioning, Rear Parking Distance Control, Storage compartment pack, centre armrest, heated front seats and more.
For an extra bit of excitement to the bodywork and interior, you can upgrade your Chili pack to the John Cooper Works Chili Pack. It includes all the features of the Chili pack, but adds extra excitement and style to your MINI with: Special JCW 17" wheels. Doorsill finishes and steering wheel.
The Comfort Pack is designed to make your everyday driving experience better with automatic air conditioning, Rear Parking Distance Control, Storage compartment pack, centre armrest, heated front seats and more.
MINI Cooper models are categorized using the letter R or F and then 2 digits. This is the chassis code format that BMW uses. There are some inconsistencies but for the most part they are pretty intuitive.
Your VIN is your Vehicle Identification Number and is unique to your vehicle and can provide key information about your vehicle. The VIN can be found in your MINI's papers or service agreement or stamped on the driver's side door pillar or front windshield.
As of model year 2018, all MINI vehicles will come standard with rear view camera and Rear Park Distance Control. As of model year 2018, all MINI vehicles will come standard with rear view camera and Rear Park Distance Control.
What is a MINI tech pack?
If you want some extra technology for your MINI, the Tech Pack gives you more to make your journey as simple and safe as possible. It adds MINI Connected XL, Navigation XL, enhanced Bluetooth with USB audio, Head-Up Display, Rear View Camera and Harman Kardon Hi-Fi system.
MINI CHILI RED,2C (851,U851)
While also including everything from the previous Premium Package, the Premium Plus Package also includes the upgraded Comfort Pack and the Navigation Pack as standard. Take a look at the enhanced experience the Premium Plus Package includes with its Harman/Kardon Surround Sound Audio System and Wireless Charging.
Interior. Inside the MINI Cooper S, you will find a new heated steering wheel, perfectly wrapped in soft-touch leather and includes multi-functional buttons housed in a sleek Piano Black panel.
Hot hatchbacks built for drivers who demand the ultimate in performance engineering and styling, the MINI John Cooper Works range is our most powerful performance option. Boasting up to 306 horsepower, these sporty MINIs are set to seriously thrill.
REAR VIEW CAMERA.
The Rear View Camera offers extra support with parking and manoeuvring. This rear view camera automatically switches on when you shift to reverse and shows the area behind your MINI in the Control Display.
All our cars come with heated front seats as standard.
The looks could be a little polarising for some buyers and the cost of optional extras can make the Countryman an expensive buy, but it's definitely worth your attention if you're looking for a small and stylish SUV.
The hill assist feature is available in all models of MINI Cooper. Once you have stopped on the upward slope, the hill assist tech assists the car from rolling back when you release the brakes.
DRIVING ASSISTANCE.
Dazzle people with your car, not your headlights. For safer and easier driving in the dark, MINI High Beam Assistant automatically adjusts your lights if there's oncoming traffic.
Do MINIs have cameras?
As of model year 2018, all MINI vehicles will come standard with rear view camera and Rear Park Distance Control.
Inside, you'll find a 6.5-inch infotainment display with DAB digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity alongside leather sports seats, chrome air vent surrounds a leather steering wheel and cruise control. You also get LED headlights and brake lights as standard.
Connect your Apple iPhone to your MINI USB port using an Apple-approved Lightning-to-USB cable. The USB port should be located in the center console. When prompted about using Apple CarPlay on your MINI Display Audio screen, select OK. Your Apple iPhone and MINI are now connected via Apple CarPlay.
When buying a Mini Cooper, watch out for dents, scratches, and bumps on the exterior. Some models had oil starvation and fuel pipe problems, so ask the seller if these have been checked. A faint whistling sound when the engine is running and warm can indicate a worn water pump.
A typical Mini Cooper will probably last about 10-18 years on average, for most drivers. That's a long time compared with older vehicles, but not as long as some of the most durable brands, like Toyota or Honda can offer on some of their vehicles.
